ASH is a lot smarter than most young blokes.
Keeping his options open and seeing how the Reds go on and off the field.
In foreseeable future both areas are bleak.
If the Gypsy is right on both fronts and he is playing OK then he will be off somewhere anywhare

I'd be willing to wager $20 to the Black Dog Institute that ASH will be here for good.
As you mentioned, he's a smart bloke. Most smart blokes studying Med are well aware of how difficult it is to get a placement in a hospital and how its even more difficult to do outside of the state you obtained your degree from.

Rugby is old school tie stuff.
He would get a gig at any Sydney or Melb or London hospital certainly if he is playing good rugby

surely he wont play pro rugby AND work in a hospital?
I would have thought he would look at hospitals after rugby, and he can come home to do that

Roe had a (very!) understanding prof at med school is former Wallaby Ken Donald.
Hopefully ASY (Angus Scott-Young) can find a path through as well. Very hard to do well at both

Tom Robertson put his medical degree on hold when it got to the full time hospital placement part of the degree because it was impossible to do both.

Understandable why Tom chose that route. Unfortunately, Med has a huge amount of 'training' years a Doctor has to go through before they're able to work unrestricted and then if they want to specialise there's another mountain to climb.
Just as a timeframe, Roe 'only' became an Orthopod this year after retiring in 2008. I no doubt both Roe and ASY have/will be helped out by understanding surgeons (from memory John is working with Dr Myers or the same Doc who does the QRU/ARU knee reconstructions), delaying their studies whilst playing rugby may not be ideal for some as you come out on the otherside behind the curve.
Yes. I have a lot of friends who are doctors. The very brightest of them managed to become specialists in their early 30s. For most, the earliest that can happen is mid 30s and many substantially later. None of them took a break to be professional sportspeople.
Depending on their chosen field it can be very hard to get into. Being a former professional sportsperson has its advantages though because in many of them having a mentor can help your progression immensely.
Not surprising Roe because an orthopaedic surgeon. It is known as the carpentry of surgery and many of them tend to be pretty solid. The surgeon who did both my knee ops was also a former sportsman and represented Australia at the Olympics.

ROBERTSON'S performance was so poor or should I say, FORGETTABLE
I forgot to correctly spell his name correctly.
Very astute of you Slim

Then we could have a worse player playing for the Wallabies and we'd be struggling even more.

Losing 2 props really screwed us AAA is easily a test back up THP and does a job on the LHP. Robertson has taken his chance as LHP backup.. But we paid for losing Sio
